In this species, which is slightly smaller than some other species of the genus Portia, the bodies of females are 5 to 7 millimetres long, while those of males are 4 to 6 millimetres long. The carapaces of both sexes are orange-brown with dark brown mottling, and covered with dark brown and whitish hairs lying over the surface. Males have white tufts on their thoraxes and a broad white band above the bases of the legs, and these features are less conspicuous in females. Both sexes have tufts of orange to dark orange above the eyes, which are fringed with pale orange hairs. Males` abdomens are yellow-orange to orange-brown with blackish mottling, and on the upper sides are black and light orange hairs, and nine white tufts. Those of females` are pale yellow and have black markings with scattered white and orange-brown hairs on the upper side. P. schultzi has relativity long legs than other Portia, and a "lolloping" gait.
